works best?

I do have my own blog. But I also follow several other
people's blog from my Etsy team as well as blogs of friends.I also promote through Etsy search ads.

I do sell offline, to whomever wishes to buy. I have a lot
of inventory available to search through.

The rainbow! My children and my imagination!

8. Who is your target audience? Who would typically buy an

15. What’s next now? Could we get a sneak peak of what
you’ll be doing and sharing next?

I would like to start making polymer clay angel figures with
lots of glitter and sparkle!

16. Is there anything else you would like to share with us?

I would like to thank you Katrine for featuring me and my
shop.

I am glad to have this chance to shine, hopefully my
reflection will add some sparkle to your day:)

Thanks so much Sharmon!! It's been a pleasure getting to know you - and you've definitely added a lot of sparkle to my day ;) We share the same dream - I would also love to be an author!! Good luck with your shop and dreams, and I can't wait to see your book in the bookshelves ;) - Keep us posted!

About Me

I love to make things. Creating things gets me in a certain state of mind that is extremely peaceful and serene. I could sit for hours making and making things. Even if my shoulders start to ache, I just keep going. At the moment I love jewelry-making and crocheting. I also love writing. Through this blog I want my crafts to be put out there - out, into the world. Hopefully this blog will give my jewelry a voice of it's own, as it is yearning to be heard.
